American views of higher ed decline, once again

A new Gallup poll shows American confidence in higher education has significantly declined since 2013, with those calling college "very important" dropping from 70% to less than one-third, while those saying it's "not too important" surged from 6% to nearly 30%. This decline spans all demographic groups—Democrats and Republicans, men and women, across all ethnicities—suggesting widespread erosion of faith in the value of a college degree.
